Introduction
Flying STAR, a Hybrid Crawling and Flying
Rover.FSTAR is a robot fitted with a sprawling
mechanism, wheels and propellers allowing it to both
run and fly using the same motors.
 The current prototype can fly at 9 m/s and run on the
ground at 3 m/s.
The combined capabilities of running and flying
allows FSTAR to fly over obstacles or run underneath
them and move inside pipes.
The robot can crawl in confined spaces or underneath
obstacles while touching the ground.
The robot can be used for safe package deliveries,
search and rescue applications manufacturing chains,
agriculture, maintenance, cleaning, filming and
entertainment

Coreless Motors
Coreless Dc Motors, are a specialized form of DC motors. These motors
are used where small motors and rapid acceleration, is needed. The
difference of a coreless motor is this type of motor has a rotor that is
constructed without any iron core. They can be in cylindrical or disc
form.It speed is about 20,000rpm.
 Gear Unit
A gear unit is an all-in-one combination of a motor
and gearbox. The addition of a gear head to a motor
reduces the speed while increasing the torque output.
The most important parameters in regards to gear
motors are speed (rpm), torque (lb-in) and efficiency
(%). In order to select the most suitable gear motor for
your application you must first compute the load,
speed and torque requirements for your application.
ISL Products offers a variety of Spur Gear
Motors, Planetary Gear Motors and Worm Gear
Motors to meet all application requirements. Most of
our DC motors can be complimented with one of our
unique gearheads, providing you with a highly
efficient gear motor solution
Controller Board
PAN163CX integrates a single chip of 32-bit MCU and
2.4G wireless transceiver circuit. The wireless transceiver
circuit works in the 2.400--2.483GHz universal ISM band.
It integrates RF transceiver, frequency generator, crystal
oscillator, modem and other functional modules, and
supports one-to-many networking and communication
mode with ACK.
 Transmit output power, working channel and
communication data rate can be configured. It adopts
GFSK communication mode, supports automatic response
and automatic retransmission, supports RSSI detection
function, comes with scrambling code and CRC check
function. In addition, the PAN163CX has a built-in 31KB
Flash program memory and 4KB SRAM, which can
provide 23 IO ports, which can output up to 8 PWMs or 4
pairs of complementary PWMs and 6 ADCs.
 Transmitter and Receiver
NRF is a single chip radio transceiver for the world
wide 2.4 - 2.5 GHz ISM band.
The transceiver consists of a fully integrated
frequency synthesizer, a power amplifier, a crystal
oscillator, a demodulator, modulator and Enhanced
ShockBurst protocol engine.
It uses the 2.4 GHz band and it can operate with
baud rates from 250 kbps up to 2 Mbps. If used in
open space and with lower baud rate its range can
reach up to 100 meters. The module can use 125
different channels which gives a possibility to have a
network of 125 independently working modems in
one place.
 Joystick
A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that
pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the
device it is controlling. A joystick, also known as
the control column, is the principal control device in
the military aircraft, either as a center stick or side-stick.
It often has supplementary switches to control various
aspects of the aircraft's flight.
Camera:
FPV cameras are small, light and reasonably
priced. The FPV camera is mounted onto a drone to
send real time video down to the ground using a video
transmitter. The FPV camera allows you to see where
the drone is flying and what it is seeing as if it had its
own eyes.
Depending on the drone, the FPV transmitter will send
the live video signal to your Remote Control screen,
monitor, smartphone device, tablet or FPV goggles
Camera pixels is 0.3/2 mega pixels.
Co-axial antenna is used to transmit the signals.
Propellers
A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating
blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that
when rotated performs an action which is similar
to Archimedes' screw.
A given mass of working fluid is accelerated in one
direction and the craft moves in the opposite direction.
Propeller dynamics, like those of aircraft wings, can be
modelled by Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third
law.
Most marine propellers are screw propellers with
helical blades rotating around an approximately
horizontal axis or propeller shaft.
And the propeller weight is approximate about 2grms
and length of shaft is 25mm.
 Battery
A lithium polymer battery, or more correctly lithium-
ion polymer battery (abbreviated as LiPo, LIP, Li-
poly, lithium-poly and others), is a rechargeable battery of
lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead
of a liquid electrolyte. High conductivity semisolid (gel)
polymers form this electrolyte.
These batteries provide higher specific energy than other
lithium battery types and are used in applications
where weight is a critical feature, like mobile
devices and radio-controlled aircraft.
Its life time about 3 and (1/2) hours, if it is charged for
1hour
3D-Printed Filament
3D printing filament is the thermoplastic feedstock for fused
deposition modeling 3D printers. There are many types of
filament available with different properties, requiring different
temperatures to print. Filament is available in two standard
diameters; 1.75mm and 2.85 mm/3 mm.
Rover Wheels
A rover (or sometimes planetary rover) is a planetary
surface exploration device designed to move across the solid
surface on a planet or other planetary mass celestial bodies. Some
rovers have been designed as land vehicles to transport members
of a human spaceflight crew; others have been partially or
fully autonomous robots. Rovers are typically created to land on
another planet (other than Earth) via a lander-style spacecraft,
sked to collect information about the terrain, and to
take crust samples such as dust, soil, rocks, and even liquids. They
are essential tools in space exploration.
Working Principle
 Drones use rotors for propulsion and control. You can think of a rotor as a fan,
because they work pretty much the same. Spinning blades push air down.
To hover, the net thrust of the four rotors pushing the drone up must be equal to
the gravitational force pulling it down.
Rovers are typically created to land on another planet (other than Earth) via a
lander-style spacecraft, tasked to collect information about the terrain, and to take
crust samples such as dust, soil, rocks, and even liquids. They are essential tools in
space exploration.
Now we combing both drone as well as rover when the throttle is more than (-1) it
act like a ‘DRONE’ and when throttle is equal to (-1) it act like a ‘ROVER’
